A little bit Vintage

This sample uses the stamp plate 'Sarah's Choice', which is a mixture of words and definitions. I have chosen a soft colour palette of Kraft and cream, to which I have added the red gold gilding flakes. I stamped the script with Flitterglu, and added the gilding flakes down one side of my background. I added the same script effect to my handmade flower, which I made from brown parcel paper. I chose a vintage postcard as my focal point for the card, the colours were just right for this project.

I stamped some seam binding, made a vintage label, using one of the definitions, and added some pearl embellishments. The white burlap detail is another stamp from the stamp plate, it is a great stamp.

Keep checking back, as I'll be posting another sample in a couple of days, thanks for stopping by, xx

I tried to leave a comment about 45 minutes ago but Mr Blogger is playing up again. I'll give it another try now.

I think this was my favourite out of this particular batch of samples Judith, mainly because it's one of my favourite colour combos but also because I love anything with script on. I have this set of stamps and it's lovely. Definitions are also a weakness of mine, amongst many others, lol! You have used these stamps to perfection and the vintage postcard is the perfect focal point.

I love the white pearls with this & the burlap is just a gorgeous touch behind the old paper & with the leaves on top. This is a super set of stamps with the script, burlap & the definition (love your inked edges of the definition). Am becoming fascinated by the FlitterGlu - in search of that I stumbled across the old EI Illuminated Alphabet & had just enough funds for that & the EI Sketchy Alphabet!!Paula (PEP)

Hi Judith, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chrishttp://chelencarter-retiredandlovingit.blogspot.com/

Craft Stamping Quartet

The Craft Stamping Quartet blog was set up by myself and three crafting friends when we decided that we wanted to 'craft together'. We live around the country, but keep in touch every day via the Internet. Each month, we choose a project from Craft Stamper magazine, and each make the project, putting our own slant on the project. We then post the finished item on the blog.
